On the Monday and Tuesday leading up to the HPCS 2017 conference, we offer a two-day series of workshops, focusing on high-level software and its application. These are a great opportunity to check out the features of some of the leading scientific, mathematical, and engineering software packages, presented by knowledgeable specialists. Several of the workshops offer hands-on experience. These workshops are offered free of charge to those attending the HPCS 2017 conference.
